According to Kapila Vatsyayan, "Classical Indian architecture, sculpture, painting, literature (kaavya), music and dancing evolved their own rules conditioned by their respective media, but they shared with one another not only the underlying spiritual beliefs of the Indian religio-philosophic mind, but also the procedures by which the relationships of ...

| | | | | | Indian: Encyclopedia II - Indian Navy - History of the Indian Navy The British East India Company came to India in 1608. At the Battle of Swally in 1612 they encountered and defeated the Portuguese. This encounter emphasised the need for a naval force to protect commerce. This resulted in formation of what was then called the Honourable East India Company's Marine. It was responsible for the protection of the East India Company's trade in the Gulf of Cambay and the river mouths of the Tapti and Narmada. The officers and the men of this force went on to play an important rol ...

| | | | | | Indian: Encyclopedia II - Indian names - North Indian Names
In West Bengal, especially amongst Hindus, it is common to have a first and last name as well as a Daak naam, or a nickname, which is not listed in official documents.
In Maharashtra, the naming system is very similar to the first-middle-last format followed in the western world. e.g. "Sunil Manohar Gavaskar", here "Sunil" is the (first) name of the person. "Manohar" is the father's name, which is often abbreviated as an initial, and "Gavaskar" is the last or family name. Traditionally, women take their husband's name as their middle name and also adopt his family name. In Maharashtra som ...

| | | | | Indian: Encyclopedia II - Indian Removal - Indian Removal in the South In 1830, the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes" — the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee — were still living east of the Mississippi. They were called "civilized" because many tribesmen had adopted various aspects of European-American culture, including Christianity. The Cherokees had a system of writing their own language, developed by Sequoyah, and published a newspaper in Cherokee and English.

| | | | | Indian: Encyclopedia II - Anglo-Indian - History Anglo Indians are descendants of British men, generally from the colonial service and the military. It was also a term used for European/Indian descendants who were not strictly of Indian ethnicity, such as the French and Portuguese. From some time in the nineteenth century, both the British and the Indian societies rejected the offspring of these unions, and so the Anglo-Indians, as they became known, sought marriage partners among other Anglo Indians. Over time this group developed a number of caste-like features and acquired a special occ ...

| | | | | Indian: Encyclopedia II - Indian cuisine - History Indian cuisine is a blend of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian elements. Fruit, vegetables, grain, meat (excluding beef and in later years, with the advent of Islam, pork), fish, dairy products, and honey constituted a normal diet in Vedic times. The end of Vedic period saw a the advent of Buddhism and later Jainism, and Indian cuisine was influenced by the principle of ahimsa or non-violence. Indian cuisine turned predominantly vegetarian and was embraced particularly by the priestly-class as they deemed a vegetarian diet to be superior. This was possible partly due to a very co-operative climate where a variety of fruits and vegetable ...
